Cell

...

After absorbing Androids #17 and #18, Cell finally obtained his Perfect Form!

The new power he attained was more than enough to overwhelm Super Vegeta.

Even Trunks was unable to lay a scratch on the monster.

In an unexpected turn of events, Cell chose to instead make a proposition to the people of Earth, the Cell Games!

Goku and Gohan had just finished their training in the Hyperbolic Chamber.

Faced with Cell's seemingly fathomless power, Goku was surprisingly calm.

Just who would emerge victorious in the Cell Games? Would it be the monster, Cell? The composed Goku? Or... someone else?

Finally, the day of reckoning arrived.

The Cell Games began, the fate of the Earth resting on the shoulders of the brave warriors who chose to participate!

Cell

Oh? Impatient, aren't you?

Dear me... I wanted to save the best till last.

Goku

Cell... I heard you can use all of our moves. That right?

Cell

Heh, I suppose it is.

Goku

...

Cell

Come at me!

Goku

*pant* *pant*

Phew, you got me. I'm tapping out!

Cell, I understand how powerful you are now. Which is why I'm forfeiting.

Piccolo

What the hell is he thinking?!

Gohan

Dad...?

Cell

You're doing what?! Let me get this straight, Goku. You're just quitting the match?!

Goku

Yup. You beat me.

Cell

Have you lost your mind? You do know what "forfeit" means, don't you?!

Goku

Yeah...

But... do you mind if I pick who you go up against next?

Cell

... You aren't joking around, are you?

Goku

One way or another, the Cell Games will be ending with the next mach. If he can't beat you... then no one else can.

But! I know he's going to trounce you, no matter what!

Cell

Pft... Ha ha ha! You really are a fool! There is no one on this puny planet who is stronger than I am!

Goku

You really think so?

Cell

Fine, let's cut the chit-chat.

Goku

It's all you Gohan!

Gohan

What?!

Goku

You can do it, right, Gohan?

Gohan

Wait, Dad... You want me to fight... Cell?

Upon forfeiting, Goku made a surprising proposition. He nominated his own son, Gohan, to be the one to fight Cell next.

Will Gohan really be able to defeat Cell?

Goku

So, Gohan... My fight with Cell wasn't too hectic for you to keep up with, was it?

Gohan

Ah... N-No, it wasn't... But Dad... You weren't fighting seriously out there, were you?

Goku

Sorry Gohan, I don't know about Cell, but I was giving it my all.

So to you... it looked like I was holding back, right?

Go on, Gohan. I know you can do it. Only you can bring peace back to Earth. Your dream is to become a scholar, right?

Gohan

Okay, Dad... I'll try my best!

Haaaaaah!!

...

Cell

Cheeky brat... Enthusiastic, aren't we.

Gohan

Let's stop this fighting. It's pointless.

Honestly, I don't want to fight and... I don't want to kill you either. Even if you are a heartless monster.

I'm not like my Dad when it comes to fighting, I...

Cell

Yeah yeah, you're a pacifist, I get it.

But... do you really know what not killing me means?

Gohan

If I get angry, I lash out and unleash phenomenal power, but even I am powerless to control it.

Cell

Ha ha ha! Is that so? Nice try, kid, but a bluff like that won't scare me.

You're just a puny brat! If anything, hearing that just makes me want to tick you off even more!

Gohan

Gaaaaah!

*pant* *pant*

Goku

(Heh, that's it Cell... Enrage him! Then you'll see.)

(You'll finally understand the true meaning of fear.)

Cell

Hm?!

What... #16?!

Piccolo

Of course! He's a robot! He has no Ki for Cell to sense!

Right, everyone, help him!

Android #16

W-Wait! Stay back!

I intend to blow myself up along with Cell!

Android #16

There's a powerful self-destruct device built into my body.

It's my secret final weapon!

I'm sorry for getting you all blown up with me!

Hyaaaagh!

In an unexpected turn of events, Android #16 appeared with the intent of blowing himself up along with Cell.

However...!

Krillin

#16, listen! You CAN'T self-destruct!

Android #16

I... can't?!

Krillin

Bulma... She told me.

Doctor Brief removed the bomb from you when he was repairing you!

Android #16

!!

Cell

Heh... Ha ha ha! Oh dear, #16. Your plan is dead in the water!

Though I doubt your bomb could do any serious damage to me.

Gohan, you intend to remain an impertinent child, I see. I will succeed in enraging you, just you wait...

Gohan

Huh?

Cell

Let's see... One, two... Seven of you!

Nngrhhh!

Hngh!

Cell Jr.

Keh keh keh!

Cell

Listen up, Cell Juniors! I want you to show those seven up on that crag a world of pain!

I won't mind if you kill them while you're at it...

Now go!

Cell Jr.

Kee!!

Krillin

Agh!

Yamcha

Gwaaaaah!

Gohan

Ngh...!

Cell

Ooh? Your Ki went up... Just a little bit!

Good, good! Seems this was the right way to anger you after all.

Hurry up, Gohan... If you don't show me your full strength, you're going to regret it.

Goku

Ngh!

Everyone... I'm sorry!

I didn't think it would turn out like this!

Gohan

(They're all going to be killed!)

(If I do have such an amazing hidden power... I want to release it!)

(But I don't know how!)

Gohan

Stop it! Listen to me! Stop it!!

Unable to release his hidden potential, Gohan's distress heightened.

All he could do...

... was watch as the Cell Juniors overwhelmed his father and friends.

#16 approached Gohan, who was struggling to control his power.

Android #16

Gohan...

Gohan

... #16?

Android #16

It's not wrong to fight for what's right.

There are some who just cannot be reasoned with.

Just let your anger free.

I feel your pain, but now is not the time to suppress your feelings

Gohan

...

Android #16

Gohan... Please, protect the nature and animals I loved.

I'm counting on you...

Cell

Mind your own business, trash!

Gohan

Aaaaaaaagh!!

Cell

!!

Gohan

...

I won't ever forgive you...!

Raaaaah!

Cell Jr.

Gyaaah!

Cell

What?!

Gohan

Hyah!

Cell

Urk... Gargh!

Ungh... Urgh...

Bleghh...!

Krillin

What the...?! He just threw up Android #18!

Trunks

Cell threw up the android he devoured??

Cell

Oooogh! Ngh...!

*pant* *pant* *pant*

Trunks

His form's changed! He's no longer in his Perfect Form!

Gohan

Tch... Is that it? How boring.

Cell

Y-You will pay...!

YOU'LL PAY!!

Ha... Ha ha! It's over for all of you! I will soon self-destruct!

If I die then you're all coming with me! I will blow this planet to smithereens!

Gohan

What?!

Krillin

Huh, what is it, Goku?

Goku

This is the only way we can save the Earth...

Piccolo

What do you mean? Explain, Goku!

Goku

...

Goodbye, everyone.

Krillin

Goku, wait, you're not...?!

Gokuuuuu!!

Cell

I... can't?!

Goku

I'm glad you made it this far, Gohan.

Gohan

D-Dad...

Goku

Tell your mom sorry from me. Sorry for always being so selfish.

... Goodbye, Gohan!

Gohan

DAAAD!!

The inflated Cell vanished along with Goku.

Using Instant Transmission, Goku brought the two of them to King Kai's Planet.

In that moment, Cell self-destructed, destroying King Kai's Planet along with him.

Sacrificing his very life, Goku once again saved Earth.
